In Psychosynthesis Counselling in Action, Diana Whitmore explains how the psychosynthesis approach helps clients interpret what is going on in their lives in a positive way. From the initial interview through the final session, she illustrates the creative and challenging aspects of being a counselor. She also stresses the importance of tailoring therapeutic techniques to a client's needs, phase of treatment, and temperament.
